EGREEN Project Case Study Presented By
Prof. Ahmed Al-Salaymeh
The University of Jordan
Erasmus+ projects workshop
Amman, Jordan
November 19, 2017
Capacity-building projects in the field of higher education support the modernisation, accessibility and internationalisation of higher education in Partner Countries.
There are 2 types of capacity-building projects:
• Joint projects: aimed at organisations to help improve curriculums, governance, and the strengthening of relations between higher education systems.
• Structural projects: aimed at promoting reforms in higher education systems, modernising policies, governance and strengthening relations between higher education
systems and the wider economic and social environment.
Capacity-building projects can be:
• National projects involving institutions from only one eligible Partner Country
• Multi-country projects within one single region, involving at least two countries from this region
• Multi-country projects involving more than one region and involving at least one country from each region concerned
Erasmus+ - Key Action 2 - Capacity building in the field of higher education

• Application deadline: 8 February 2018 at 12:00 midday Brussels time for projects starting on 15 November of the same year or 15 January of the following year
PRIORITIES
• Depending on the countries involved in the project, national, regional or cross cutting priorities may be defined for both categories of projects (Joint Projects and Structural Projects).
• Proposals not respecting the national and/or regional priorities will not be considered for funding. Cross-cutting priorities will be considered at selection stage for deciding between proposals of similar quality.
National projects, in the countries where national priorities have been established, will have to comply with national priorities. For the other countries, projects will have to comply with the regional priorities.
Multi-country projects, that is, projects involving institutions from at least two eligible Partner Countries, must respect the regional priorities or national priorities (if relevant) of the participating eligible Partner Countries involved.

Through this proposal a new curriculum will be developed. The course modules will also be available through a virtual learning platform (distance learning) and will incorporate the latest and newest technologies on water resources. Establishing such a distance-learning program is essential for this region because of the frequent instability that makes it impossible to always attend classes. The pedagogical approaches will be progressive with more interactive exercises, use of videos, social networks, blog and when possible more hands on activities. The languages of the modules will be in Arabic and English.

Aims to create the appropriate environment for

points in the agro business reform and
development in their countries.
Given the fact that, even though agricultural
production is one of the main pillars of the
economy in Jordan, there is a lack of skills and
organisation towards the successful integration
of local producers and agro-food SMEs into
regional and global value chains (RVCs and
GVCs), as well as, towards the exploitation of
the necessary knowledge regarding
technologies, methods and tools for
sustainable food and nutrition safety.
